“To be oriented toward the writings of intellectuals is to be conscious of the community itself, stretching both backwards and forwards in time” – Collins, /The Sociology of Philosophies/, p. 27

In software, we have a lineage, but we’re not conscious of it. I’d say that’s, on balance, a problem.

Please enjoy jwz mixtape 258.

Because of the recent unpleasantness, here's a mixtape of songs about nuclear war!

This idea popped into my head while I was standing at the bar last night and I thought, "Yeah, I probably have enough videos for that" and started writing down song names... 10 minutes later I had more than 2 hours worth.
